I adored the PotA TV series as much as I did the films, but I never realised Harper was that old.

US actor Tom Simcox is 86. He appeared in Shenandoah (1965), Incident at Phantom Hill (1966), Hollywood Man (1976), and a whole host of TV credits from the 1960s to the 80s. But he's probably best remembered for Patrick McGoohan's military academy colonel blowing him up with a cannon in Columbo: By Dawn's Early Light (1974).

Here he is with James Stewart in Shenandoah (1965).

A major omission from this thread: US actor Josef Sommer is 89. You might not know the name but you'll know the face. He made his film debut in Dirty Harry (1971), followed by The Stepford Wives (1975), Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (1977), Sophie's Choice (1982), Still Of The Night (1982), Silkwood (1983 - three Meryl Streep films in a row), Witness (1985), D.A.R.Y.L. (1985), The Mighty Ducks (1992), The Chamber (1996), The Sum Of All Fears (2002) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). But you might best remember him as Harrison Ford's corrupt Chief of Police Paul Schaeffer in Witness (1985), hunting Ford's character through an Amish barn.

Here he is in The Mighty Ducks (1992).
